Loopgravenoorlog 1914 - 1918 #[nn]

Tardi's stark, monochrome cover says everything about the horror it's channeling: two skeletal soldiers huddle together in a muddy trench, surrounded by artillery and the wreckage of war, their hollow skull-faces staring out from beneath steel helmets. The dates 1914–1918 frame the title Loopgravenoorlog (Trench War) like a tombstone inscription, setting the tone for this unflinching Dutch-language examination of World War I. Published by Casterman in 1993, this volume showcases Tardi's signature black-and-white draftsmanship at its most haunting and precise.
